Until recently I had no idea that dizziness could be a symptom of menopause. And neither did my doctor. That’s probably why, when I returned from holiday in the grip of a prolonged bout of vertigo, the subject never came up. At first, I thought the dizziness was triggered by drinking too much champagne in the sunshine. Anway, the doc thought it unlikely so we looked elsewhere. And we didn’t have to look too far since I’d recently been in a music therapy spa pool where with ears submerged you could listen to the magical sounds of Enya. At least that was the theory. While my ears were submerged, I heard only a kind of glugging noise accompanying the sensation of my head was filling up with water. It wasn’t exactly comfortable, or therapeutic either, but it didn’t seem to do much damage at the time. It was only when I woke up next day to the room spinning, that I sensed I had a problem. Back home, the spinning continued for several months before things settled down. In fact I wonder whether it’s still there and I’ve just figured out a new way to balance since from time to time looking down will almost set it off again. Maybe this is how it will be from now on. But as to why? Could it be simply menopause. Or could it, maybe, just maybe, be Enya?






Yep, sounds like menopause to me, my body has the strangest things happening to it since I started this @damnmenopause, lol
Hilarious. I've had this issue. For me, it was a vertigo caused by these tiny stones that exist in your inner ear. There are some exercises you can do to "reset" your inner ear. Or you can go to an ENT (which I haven't) and they can do some head maneuvers to set it right.
But then again, it could have been Enya. I listen to her ; )
